DNS-Anchored Durable Identity for AI Agents (DNSid)
Autonomous software agents are being deployed across enterprise, cloud, and cross-organizational boundaries. These agents negotiate, transact, delegate, and produce work products that persist beyond their own ephemeral runtime. Current standards and initiatives for agent identity collectively address runtime authentication, authorization, lifecycle management, and tool interaction, but a gap remains: a durable, governance-backed identifier that lets a relying party determine and verify the accountable entity behind an agent it encounters, including agents that have since been retired or whose keys have rotated, and attribute past and present work products to that entity. Lifecycle-history verification is governed by the applicable log method and deployment scope. DNSid addresses the accountable layer of identity: the durable ownership anchor that existing agent identity standards do not provide. This document specifies DNSid, a minimal identity primitive that assigns each agent a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), binds it to an accountable entity identified by a DNS domain under that entity's control, and publishes a structured set of pointers in DNS TXT records to the agent's cryptographic keys, lifecycle log, and operational status. DNSid uses accountable-entity-controlled signatures for record integrity and an abstract append-only lifecycle log for history. It is designed to sit beneath existing identity, authentication, authorization, and agent interaction standards without competing with them. DNSid introduces no new DNS resource record types, opcodes, or response codes, and requires no changes to DNS resolvers, authoritative servers, or the DNS protocol. It applies to any agent that can be assigned an FQDN whose accountable entity can publish verification material; public discoverability of the agent is not required.
Special-Use Domain Names
This document describes what it means to say that a Domain Name (DNS name) is reserved for special use, when reserving such a name is appropriate, and the procedure for doing so. It establishes an IANA registry for such domain names, and seeds it with entries for some of the already established special domain names.

btw, these new domain endings should be of much greater interest to the @bsky.app (atproto) community than your average internet jane/joe because of the incoming flood of expressive @handle.tld options

ICANN's gTLD application window closed last night and bigger-than-2012 (last round) stuff is already happening lfg.link applied for 316, more than anyone in 2012 (it'll cost $71 million in application fees alone!) some interesting strings in there...going to thread until I run out of steam

sifa.idoh i forgot i made a thing. domains finally registered and nameservers switched over. atproto.md a simple pdsls for your agents try it out, let me know what i should add. it’s also open source, it’s just a cloudflare worker: tangled.org/socialde.pt/atproto.md
